Story

Words and Music by Timothy Suckow, written in 2015.

This tribute song was written because so many people were ripping on the city of Detroit for it's problems. Since I have so many fond memories of Motown and the Detroit Tigers, I decided to write a tune the would emphasize the good.

"Back To Detroit" made it's broadcast debut on April 6, 2015 on WLCS-FM 98.3 (North Muskegon, Michigan). It was played on the station as part of the Detroit Tigers Radio Network pregame show during afternoon games.

Lyrics

(chorus)uh-oh, I'm going back to Detroituh-oh, what you gonna do tonightuh-oh, I'm going back to Detroit

(bridge)Pistons, Lions, Tigers and WingsAretha and Marvin make to singWoodward, Michigan and TrumbullCommunity spirit never will crumbleSparky, Gordie, Lidström and TyFill our hearts with unquenchable prideHenry's horseless automobileNever could a place be so ideal

(repeat chorus)uh-oh, Welcome back to Detroituh-oh, I know where I will stay tonightuh-oh, I feel like I've been here before(repeat chorus)
